The programme was chalked out to earn a place for Konkani in the Guinness book of world records by beating the existing record of 36 hours non-stop singing which stood in the name of Communicade evangelica luterana sao Paulo, Ulbra, Brazil, sung during July 3 and 4, 2004, Eric Ozario, Gurkaar, Mandd Sobhann, told reporters here on Tuesday.

The competition involves 1200 multiple singers, he said.

This world record attempt is being undertaken to raise the funds for the completion and sustenance of �Kalaangann�, a Konkani heritage centre, he added.
